Apology for disrespect at game
By The Bakersfield Californian
I want to publicly apologize to the Bakersfield High School parents who attended the boys junior varsity soccer game against Frontier High School on Feb. 8. I am a parent of a Frontier soccer player and I was so embarrassed that the Frontier track coach had his team run the bleachers as the BHS parents were trying to watch their players play.
It is sad that Frontier High does not value the players on its soccer team -- and it was so evident that day. Despite the fact that the Frontier High boys junior varsity soccer team was undefeated this season, they do not value these players. When we attended the soccer game at Bakersfield High, we were treated with respect. I wish we could have returned that treatment.
